So, what happened to 0% fees for the first 50 miners then? I found the first two blocks and there have been less than 10 miners at the pool in the 24 hours I've been there since shortly after launch yet I still got 1% fees deducted.
On the plus side, the dashboard reports my hash rate pretty much as I see it client-side and my lowly 1.5Gh/s has hit 2 blocks in 24 hours. Other pools consistently report a 10-15% lower hash rate.
I apologize SquidsIn, I was meant to put on the thread saying to PM me your username on the pool so I can switch it over to 0% fees. As all logins are shared with our other pools (bitcoin). I will change it over for you now. Many thanks, great pool btw. |

http://nakamoto-plaza.com:3003/ is currently up and running. The indexing job kept getting stuck but seems to have been stable for a few days now. I'll do what I can to keep it running whilst there's still life in Unitus.

What do you mean:D?
what i mean is that vanillcoin is more than a coin to earn profit from. vanilla is the only cryptocurrency you can actually easily buy vanilla icecream with. That's right! So the best decision is to buy some VNL now, wait until it falls to 1-2K and sell. The sell part is completely optional though  Or alternatively you could just have no interest whatsoever and be a cunt about it just because that's how you roll. |

VNL will be analyzed tonight, see @Coinigy for deetz: Coinigy retweeted Brian Beamish @CRInvestor 2h2 hours ago $VNL/BTC #4 for tonight, can't hurt to review a coin that treated us well in the past https://www.coinigy.com/s/i/55ddfac7/ View summary 2 retweets 1 favorite Reply Retweet 2 Favorite 1 More Coinigy retweeted saint crypto @saintcrypto 3h3 hours ago @Coinigy @CRInvestor I'd also like to see $VNL View conversation 1 retweet 0 favorites Reply Retweet 1 Favorite More Coinigy retweeted Renkcub @renkcub 3h3 hours ago @Coinigy @CRInvestor Please analyze $VNL, if you do, I'm sure people will listen in!
https://twitter.com/jessecouch/status/636632572634767361 From what I listened to the guy had some ok points, and it's true that VNL is in a trading range potentially hoping to rise at some point. But I think he is and was thinking purely like a stock trader, even using terms like retail investors......when lets face it most coin are only retail investors. I think coins do follow patterns but prices moves in coins are far more susceptible to news and also manipulation as the majority of coins still have tiny volumes compared to stocks. He missed the market manipulation and NEWS/FUD that is revolving around this coin so any real price discussion isn't going to follow charting analysis much. I thought the underlying assumption of all TA was that all of that is already priced into the market? |

Incidentally, I was able to generate a bitstream from cryptoflyr's source on github but try as I might I can't get it to work. I suspect I'm not doing it right since it's totally out of my sphere of technical expertise.
Then you need to go to the IRC and ask questions. +1, this would be more effective than posting negative comments on BCT  Agreed. but to be fair you did post this just yesterday which is somewhat misleading in light of the discussion now; Since you seem to be the authority here I assumed I'd just have to sit it out and wait. My bad regarding that since I thought John will be the one releasing the software. Take my apology. No worries, thanks. And apologies for negativity on my part. Despite my frustration I do love what you guys are doing here. I'll try IRC. |

I've always thought this is an excellent coin, one with integrity and ingenuity, at one point a few weeks ago I had 25k and seriously regret letting it go in drabs and drabs on the way up taking profit.
However, personally, I'm starting to lose the faith a bit. It seems a little too convenient that VNL is going through a period of rapid rise and continued ATH breaking right at the time there is ongoing testing with an "experimental" FPGA bitstream which is only available to the inner sanctum.
It's fair enough, the guys who put together the bitstream worked hard on it and should reap some reward for their effort but it's really frustrating to be sat on 5 idle FPGA's and missing the party. I think in the long run this will harm the coin, people will complain about the distribution during this phase which is in stark contrast to the early history of the coin and JC going out of his way to ensure fair distribution, and not without controversy.
2 people namely John and Cryptoflyr are building the software. They have all the right to release only a finished product, be happy they are releasing it unline most of the miner devs who only release a gimped product and only sell the finished ones. How can this make you lose faith? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I believe it's wrong or unfair. I am saying it's frustrating. I want to support VNL, if I could I'd be happy to mine it, I want to acquire some, all day, every day. I don't want to sell it. But since I sold my GPU's a long time ago I can't mine it. The only way I can increase my holding is by trying to play the markets, buying low and selling high. The problem is there are people with a lot deeper pockets and it's a risky way to accumlate. Like I say, I'd much rather mine and much better something that's half as efficient as it could be than nothing at all.

FFS, stop feeding the troll.
He's not here to crash the price so he can buy low, he's not here because he covets another coin and fears vanilla. His principal reason for being here is an ego trip and every time you reply to him you're feeding it. He's a lonely child and he needs to feel something to feel significant, even if it's hate. Cut off his lifeblood, put him on ignore.

What is the block time? And can it be mined by scrypt asic?
Variable block time targeting 80-200 seconds. You can't make use of your scrypt asics as this uses a modified Whilrpool algo. FPGA development is ongoing, some boards with spartan 6 chips on them will be able to mine Vanillacoin with good power to hash efficiency. Where to buy FPGA asic? FPGA's aren't ASIC's. FPGA's are pretty pricey / rare as rocking horse shit to pick up cheaply it seems. You can buy Quad Xilinx Spartan 6 LX150 boards (1.15x) new from ZTEX.de directly. I paid about £300 for one about a year ago. I've also picked up a few Enterpoint Cairnsmore CM1 Quad LX150 second hand as and when they come up on eBay for anything from £60-£200 each depending on your location (and shipping cost). I haven't been able to find them in quantity anywhere but there must be 100's out there in the wild gathering dust. I believe we are still waiting on compiled Bitstreams and performance stats for WhirlpoolX hashing with these boards though so any purchase is speculative at this stage. |

ouch, 20 btc dumped
Plenty of buyers... I couldn't get BTC to Polo fast enough |

I like Vanilla  Me too. I'd like it even more if I could figure out how to get MinerPP working with Cairnsmore CM1's and/or Ztex 1.15y. Anybody here got any pointers? |
|
|
|
I would be very interested in this too, I also have some Quad Spartan 6 Cairnsmore CM1's. For now I shall just buy VNL at these low prices but it would be nice to mine some for posterity, this ones a keeper. |

The wallet, master node and staking is working perfect :-)
same here, no problems. It's a damn shame the dev bailed, he's actually put out a good coin compared to most. |

just started one master node and want some information regarding how much we can get / day on 25000 shell coin investment on masternode setup ?
sorry if the question was already answered but i am not able to find any info regarding the same and also want to find out if we deposit more than 25000 shell coin in the master node it will effect the payout or we need to setup another master node to increase the payout ?
Staked coins generate blocks of 100 coins, 50 go to the staker and 50 to a masternode. There are currently 25 masternodes, if you have one you have a 1/25 chance of getting 50 coins every time somebody's stake generates a block. There are currently ~100 staked blocks per hour so you should be making around 200 coins per hour, or ~4800 per day right now. Depositing more than 25000 has no benefit, if you have enough you can set up another masternode with another instance of the daemon with a different data directory, delete wallet.dat from the copy and change the port and rpcport in the config. If you do deposit more than 25000 or you leave your generated coins in the masternode wallet they will become eligible for staking, if enabled. |

Is my wallet reporting the correct count of masternodes? It states there are 22 masternodes, but my node is getting hits like there is only 5 or 6 since early this morning. I like all the extra coins I'm generating, but I'm wondering if something is awry.  I must have the magicnode. LOL I got 22 hits in the last hour. Hmmm, that might explain why my 4 masternodes showed such a paltry return this morning. |

i guess there's some issue with the code that makes it hard to initially connect.
one seednode should be enough
Yeah true, but those issues you mention show a dev who cant support his coin. I been trying to get this to work since yesterday and am still having problems. I think its better to just give up, delete this shit and move onto another coin. I'll give it one more day for the dev to get his shit together. Lets see what happens. Shell is one of those rare coins where I've never had a single problem getting connections. Have you checked that the problem isn't your end? As for the "dev who can't support his own coin" needing to "get his shit together". Look back a few posts, you are aware the dev is no longer around, right? |
